"My mom and I do too, especially when there are many stars. My mom says that the stars can convey our longing to my dad. My dad must have received our longing."

Looking at her smart and well-behaved daughter, Zhou Ting'an felt an indescribable emotion; perhaps this was happiness.

The days that followed.

Bai Muyin is on a business trip abroad, and Yun Shudai is filming a movie.

He Wan and her family of three drove back to Uncle Xu Yan's place in Dalizhuang County.

They'll probably be staying here for the next few days, so the three of them tidied up a bit.

Zhou Ting'an then thought of something and said, "Where was Xi Yao back then? None of the people I arrested mentioned the child. Wang Jianguo didn't tell me about the child either. Over the years, I thought you had hidden the child somewhere. When I was looking for you, I was also looking for the child."

He Wan guiltily brushed her hair back from her forehead, lowered her head and thought for a while before saying, "There was no one to take care of the child at the time, so I had to bring her with me. The child was too small, and I was afraid she would get cold, so I put her in my arms. I was wearing thick clothes, and the child was small, so I wrapped her in my coat. Most people really wouldn't be able to tell."

I had no choice but to jump into the water. Luckily, I was close to the shore. Uncle Xu helped me hold the child while I pulled him, and we managed to get ashore with great difficulty. Fortunately, we escaped the hidden sentries. Uncle Xu also fell seriously ill while protecting the child.

Zhou Ting'an said, "Is that so?" He clearly felt it was somewhat unreasonable, but he was still very grateful to Xu Yan.

During their stay in the county town, they visited Grandpa Wan and Grandpa He, who now work at the feed mill.

He Wan also met Li Weidong.

When Li Weidong saw her, this grown man immediately squatted down and burst into tears, sobbing, "I knew it! How could someone as capable as you just disappear like that? Waaah!"

Li Weidong cried for a long time that day, and He Wan and Zhou Ting'an kept trying to comfort him.

But when he saw her daughter beside her, he was stunned: "Your child is so big?"

He Wan repeated the same explanation she had given to Wang Jianguo.

When I heard that she was pregnant that year, I was shocked. I couldn't tell at all.

Therefore, with Li Weidong as her mouthpiece, when she returned to Dali Village, she no longer needed to explain how her child came to be.

When Zhang Cuicao saw her, well, her child was already so big, and she hugged her and cried like a child.

"I'm thinking, we've all become good people, but where have all the positive and motivated people gone?"

I often curse God for being unfair. Over the years, whenever I think of you, my heart aches.

When Ranran told me she'd seen you, I was outside that day, and I literally kowtowed three times to God.

He Wan hugged her, unsure of what words of comfort to say.

Upon arriving in the village, one finds that Captain Chen and the Party Secretary have now been transferred to the commune.

Aunt Chrysanthemum is still the same warm-hearted women's director, and Aunt Eyes is still as healthy as ever.

The village's fishponds have also been contracted out, and now everyone has their own land, and life is getting better and better.

When Captain Chen heard that they wanted to hold a reunion for educated youth, he immediately understood.

He quickly asked his wife and daughter-in-law to help tidy up the educated youth settlement.

The houses over there have been vacant for several years, and there are more and more young people in the village. At the beginning of this year, it was mentioned in a meeting that the houses here on the base should be sold to young people in the village.

Chen Lemin has now taken over his father's position and enjoys considerable prestige in the village, but at home, he remains the same chauvinistic husband.

Li Aiying is no longer teaching because of complaints from parents.

I had a child two years ago, and I've been taking care of the child at home for the past two years.

Although she didn't have a good life with Chen Lemin, she had her family's support, so she didn't end up like Zhang Cuicao.

That night, when they arrived, they were all crying and laughing, recounting their experiences here over the years.

Most of the comments were filled with emotion, praising how lucky they were to have met He Wan.

He Wan was also very happy to see their happy faces.

They never expected that He Wan would have such a great opportunity, managing to go to university and become a wealthy businesswoman while raising her child.

Everyone is saying that He Wan turned misfortune into blessing.

But after returning to her little house, seeing Zhou Ting'an comforting the child and waiting for her, she didn't feel that being in the port area was a blessing for her.

Because of this, she missed out on five wonderful years with her lover.

"Still not asleep?"

"Waiting for you? I can hear your laughter from the backyard."

"Yes, it's been years since we last met, and we have so much to talk about." He Wan quietly got into bed, glanced at her sleeping daughter beside her, and then snuggled into Zhou Ting'an's arms.

After living there for several years, the windows were broken, and the two of them looked out through the cracks in the windows.

We couldn't help but think back to the time when we first met.

"Wanwan, meeting you is the luckiest thing that has ever happened to me."

“I ran away while pregnant with your child, and you’ve worried about me for so many years, and you still think it’s good?”

"Good, because it is good to have something to care about."

Before I met you, I was a homeless drifter. Actually, I was wrong before too.

"What's wrong?"

"I shouldn't have acknowledged you as my sister; I should have just stuck with you."

He Wan understood what he meant and chuckled: "How about repaying me with your body?"

Zhou Ting'an looked at her and smiled, which could be considered as tacit agreement.

He Wan took the initiative to kiss his lips. In this respect, He Wan was more uninhibited than Zhou Ting'an.

However, with children around and the windows not being soundproof, they couldn't be allowed to misbehave.
